Keynote speaking

Grahams keynote is based on the belief that presentation is definitely the hardest of all soft skills. He will give the audience a snapshot of how they can use the Spoken Word to get what they want without being addicted to PowerPoint Prozac. It is designed to be an entertaining and challenging overview, providing takeaway ideas that audience members can put into action immediately.
Detailed client research and briefing ensures that the content is tailored to fit in with the exact theme of the event, using business and political examples from both sides of the Atlantic. The attitude and content of Grahams keynote can be summed up in 4 seconds and 6 words: Say it, Support it, Shut it. The 45-minute version is probably more entertaining!

Clients always receive a full content outline based on the research and pre-briefing as part of the engagement. Typical topics covered:
-How to define your Finishing Position: where you want your audience to be by the time you have stopped speaking
-The use of Micro-Messages to capture and convey your most important arguments
-Why Spikes are needed to make your points even sharper
